Untangling Brianna "Chickenfry" LaPaglia & Grace O'Malley's Friendship

As a seasoned observer of celebrity dynamics, I must say that the intricate web of relationships and feuds among these notable personalities is quite fascinating. Each individual has their unique journey, and it seems that the path they tread often intersects with others, leading to moments of disagreement or misunderstanding.

It’s been a year of change for Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia and Grace O’Malley.

Discussions about the potential strain on their 15-year friendship had been circulating online for several months before they officially announced the end of their joint podcast, PlanBri Uncut, in December. The tension within their dynamic was more evident after Brianna’s dramatic split with Zach Bryan in October.

Brianna spoke about why she thinks their friendship ended, attributing it to a time when she was involved in a one-year romance with an ex-partner who she accused of emotional abuse (though he hasn’t responded publicly to these allegations).

Brianna expressed on her December 11th podcast episode titled “BFFs“, shared with cohosts Josh Richards and Dave Portnoy, that being in an abusive relationship can negatively impact friendships. She had witnessed a lot of it personally and knew about Brianna’s struggles. It was undeniably tough for her, as she strongly disliked the individual from the beginning.

Despite the fact that the 25-year-old admitted that her connection with Zach had caused a rift in their friendship, she remained optimistic that Grace, who announced her departure from Barstool Sports on December 16, would continue to stand by her.

Brianna remembered saying something like, “I think it’s because you dislike Zach so intensely, you’re not considering that we’ve always been friends,” she added. “You can continue to dislike him, but don’t forget about me in the process.” Unfortunately, she didn’t take my words to heart and never provided support during the tough times I was experiencing.

As per Brianna’s account, Grace found it challenging to keep a strong relationship with her throughout her tumultuous relationship with Zach. She stated that the termination of their friendship, known as ‘PlanBri’, in October was primarily because of the condition of their friendship itself.

Brianna stated, “I could no longer participate in the podcast as it felt like we were merely acting as friends. To be honest, I didn’t feel understood by her. Therefore, I decided to establish a limit, essentially saying, ‘I can’t keep doing the show anymore.’

She had faith that her action would ultimately enhance their private lives, mentioning, “I believed that stopping the podcast might provide us a chance to repair our friendship since collaborating with one’s closest friend can be quite challenging.

Regarding Grace, while she hasn’t responded to all the rumors circulating on social media, she did poke fun at their disagreement during a recent stand-up performance.

Apologies if I seem out of sorts tonight at the Helium Comedy Club in Indianapolis (December 12th). You see, I’m navigating an unusual separation – it’s more like untangling a long-standing friendship than a traditional divorce. There are a few quirks to this situation: It wasn’t a marriage, but a 15-year bond. And guess what? The house isn’t hers; she gets to keep the podcast instead.

As for the children, my partner and I chose a forward-thinking path. Rather than adhering to traditional joint custody arrangements, we’re empowering them to make their own decisions about whom they wish to stay with.

Even though Brianna and Grace, who had been inseparable since they became best friends at age 10, jointly decided to end their podcast, the situation took an unexpected turn when Brianna announced on her Instagram Stories on Dec. 4 that PlanBri would be resurrected in some form, following its recognition as one of Spotify’s Breakout Creators for 2024.

After Grace’s Instagram Story update, it appears she learned for the first time about a fresh version of the podcast, and they were said to be preparing a shared announcement concerning its supposed ending.

After several months of reassuring their fans that their friendship was intact, the pair made their remarks. This was particularly notable following Brianna’s omission of a birthday tribute for Grace in October.

She mentioned on Instagram Stories that Grace has been more like a sister to her since she was 15. She sent Grace a private birthday wish. Unfortunately, she’s had a terrible week and feels drained from having to clarify things to people who don’t know her well. She loves everyone and that’s all there is to it.

She went on to say, “Everybody just discusses my life over there. I’ve grown tired of broadcasting my personal connections online due to the internet’s tendency to spoil everything.

Nevertheless, it was apparent that Grace and Brianna had admitted earlier on that their friendship underwent a shift following Brianna’s suggestion of embarking on a solo podcast endeavor.

Grace clarified on PlanBri Uncut in May that there have been shifts in their relationship and they weren’t expressing their feelings openly to each other. At the same time, Brianna added, “It seemed like our desires weren’t aligning as they used to.

She went on, “Everyone only seems to discuss my personal life over there. I’ve decided that I no longer wish to disclose details of my private relationships online, as the internet has a tendency to tarnish and distort them beyond recognition.

Reflecting on our dynamic, I’ve noticed a shift since Brianna proposed her solo podcast venture. Prior to this, we were inseparable, but it seems our friendship has taken a new path. This change isn’t something either of us has shied away from acknowledging.

On the talk show PlanBri Uncut in May, Grace expressed that our relationship dynamics have been evolving and we hadn’t been expressing our true feelings to one another openly. Simultaneously, Brianna added that it seemed like we weren’t seeking the same desires as we once did.

As your trusted lifestyle guide, let me clarify some recent speculations that have been circulating since the beginning of 2024, specifically concerning my relationship with Tan, who is visibly standing next to me in this photo. To set the record straight, I’d like to address rumors suggesting a rift between us, two months after I made the difficult decision to part ways with the incredible cast of Queer Eye following eight successful seasons together. Rest assured, our friendship remains strong and unwavering, just as it was on set.

He assured Vanity Fair, “Tan and I are doing well, and we’re okay,” he said. “There was an incident, and that’s a private matter between us, with no connection to the show. It was a personal issue that had been developing—and to make it clear, it wasn’t romantic, just a point to clarify.

By March 2024, Tan was addressing rumors that he attempted to get Jeremiah Brent instead of Bobby on the show “Queer Eye”.

He mentioned on Instagram that Netflix and the production companies conducted a thorough casting process. Contrary to what some may think, I didn’t recommend my friend for the role. Instead, they secured it because they were undeniably the most suitable candidate for the job. However, I didn’t help them get the part by eliminating someone else in the process.

In a December 2023 broadcast of her podcast “Let’s Be Clear“, Holly Marie Combs, a former co-star from “Charmed“, claimed that Alyssa had presented an ultimatum to a show producer, demanding they choose between herself and Shannen. This supposed demand is believed to have contributed to Shannen’s departure from the show in 2001.

As a lifestyle guide in 2024, reflecting on a past event, I took to Instagram in February to clarify some misconceptions. I made it clear that I never held the authority to dismiss anyone from their job. Moreover, I emphasized that the passage of time has significantly altered the narrative around these events, making any current retelling feel more like a reinterpretation of history than an accurate account of what truly transpired.

The following day, Shannen asserted during a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando, “I am not witnessing any reinterpretation of history in the truth that I am aware we shared.

In September 2023, while participating in a game called Stir the Pot on TopMob News with her daughter Kelly Osbourne, Sharon commented that the actress from That ’70s Show was the most rude celebrity she had ever encountered. She labeled him as “very impolite,” using the phrase “rude, rude, rude, rude” and a “naughty little creature.

He did not respond to her remarks publicly.

Five years ago, Sharon shared with Larry King that when Ashton was a guest on The Talk in 2014, he displayed a “tone of displeasure” following her mistake in referring to him by name.

She remembered him asking, “‘Who are you? What are your accomplishments in this field?'” To which she responded, “Child, let me make it clear that I am not someone to be trifled with. I will outshine and surpass you without a second thought.” So, she simply said, “You have no idea who you’re facing here, child.

In August of 2022, Cassadee and Maren found themselves in a heated exchange with Brittany, who is married to country music artist Jason Aldean, following a post on Instagram where Brittany showcased herself applying makeup on August 23rd. She captioned the video, “I’d like to express my gratitude to my parents for not altering my gender during my tomboy phase. I truly enjoy this feminine lifestyle.

In a TikTok challenge in 2022, JoJo Siwa criticized Candace Cameron Bure for being the rudest celebrity. This was after an incident where Bure declined to take a photo with Siwa on a red carpet. Later, Bure apologized for her actions, saying “I broke your 11-year-old heart by not taking a picture with you. I really feel bad, JoJo. I’m sorry.

Reflecting on our reconciliation, it’s been several months now, and I’ve recently found myself fielding a question about the potential inclusion of same-sex couples as main characters in holiday movies on the Great American Family network, where I hold the position of Chief Creative Officer. To clarify, we will maintain a focus on traditional marriage narratives at the heart of our content offerings.

JoJo, who publicly identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community in 2021, posted on Instagram that the actress’ remark was “disrespectful and painful to an entire group of individuals.

Way back in June 2021, it was Courtney Love who claimed that Olivia Rodrigo had copied the cover of our beloved Hole’s album for a promotional shot without giving proper credit. To this, Olivia responded with a heartfelt, “I adore you and find so much inspiration in your journey.” Courtney then graciously replied, “Olivia, my dear, consider it a compliment! My go-to florist can be found in the charming Notting Hill neighborhood of London. I’d be more than happy to share the details with you! I eagerly await reading your sweet note [winking face emoji].

During an interview on “Watch What Happens Live”, the actor from “Happy Days” was questioned about his strained relationship with the actor from “Forrest Gump” while working together in the 1989 film “Turner & Hooch”.

For 13 days, I was in charge of that movie’s direction. Afterward, I received a call from producer Jeff Katzenberg’s office, and he told me, “Have all your things packed? Go home,” he said. (In this paraphrase, I’ve used more conversational language to make it sound natural and easy to read.)

Despite some initial differences, it appeared that Winkler found a connection with Hanks’ canine colleague. In his own words, “We got along fantastically, really well with that dog. I absolutely adore that dog.

He also refused to admit if he’s even seen the flick.

“You know what you did!”

As a lifestyle connoisseur, you might recall the unforgettable moment from The Hills’ third season opener, where Lauren herself uttered a line that echoed through the show’s history. Their conflict traces back to when Heidi began dating her current spouse, Spencer Pratt, and reached its zenith when Lauren alleged that Heidi and Spencer had spread a rumor suggesting she made a sex tape with Jason Wahler.

The costars reignited their ongoing feud when Tyrese publicly called out Dwayne on Instagram after the Fast and Furious 9 release date was pushed back to April 2020. That same day, it was announced that a Fast and Furious spinoff starring Dwayne and Jason Statham would hit theaters in 2019. The following month, Tyrese threatened to quit Fast 9 if Dwayne was in the movie.

Later on, Tyrese discussed the ongoing disagreement during an episode of “The Red Pill” podcast, expressing to Van Lathan, “To this day, I haven’t spoken with The Rock directly, but we will have a conversation.” He also mentioned that he had conversed with The Rock’s producing partner, but not the actor himself.

Tyrese admitted that he was the one who publicly shared sentiments on behalf of several individuals linked to the franchise, while others remained private. He acknowledged it wasn’t a professional move and regretted his actions.

No more bad blood here.

For many years, Taylor and Katy were involved in a long-standing dispute, with some speculating that it was the basis for Taylor’s song “Bad Blood.” The controversy, which supposedly began due to disagreements over a backup dancer and conflicting tours, finally seemed to be resolved when Perry extended an olive branch, quite literally, before Taylor’s Reputation Tour started.

Taylor expressed her delight in a recent Instagram video, stating, “I’ve just discovered a real olive branch in my dressing room! It carries such deep meaning for me.

Taylor captioned the video, “Thank you Katy.”

For many years, speculations about a feud between Sex and the City co-stars Kim and SJP have been quelled. However, whispers resurfaced when Kim opted not to reprise her role for a third film and made remarks about her colleague that sparked curiosity.

Andy Cohen inquired about Sarah Jessica Parker’s response when Kim Cattrall stated they were merely coworkers, not friends, during a September 2017 episode of “Watch What Happens Live”.

She expressed her feelings as follows: “Truly heartbroken. For an entire week, we discussed this matter, and it left me quite distressed since my recollection of our past events doesn’t align with what seems to be happening now.

She expressed, “It’s unfortunate, but I guess it feels like…There’s something unique that binds us, and that thing is this shared experience we’ve had. Although it was a professional endeavor, over the years, it grew into something personal. So, I hope that this long-standing bond overshadows any more recent discussions.” She went on to say, “Experiencing something so special together for such a prolonged period is quite a rare privilege.

And though they didn’t film scenes together, Kim did make a small appearance on And Just Like That.

The legendary singers have been engaged in a longstanding dispute since 2004. During the Q Awards of that year while accepting the Classic Songwriter Award, Elton exclaimed to the audience, “Madonna, considered the best live act? Absolutely not! When did miming become live? I apologize, but I firmly believe that anyone who mimes in public on stage, when the audience pays around 75 pounds to witness them, should be reprimanded.

In 2008, the previous lead actress on “Grey’s Anatomy” ignited a disagreement with the show’s creator by withdrawing herself from Emmy Award contention. She explained that her decision was based on not receiving suitable material for consideration as a nominee.

Later on, Shonda spoke candidly about Katherine’s choice during an interview with Oprah Winfrey on ‘Oprah’s Next Chapter’ in 2012. She admitted, “On one hand it hurt and on the other I wasn’t taken aback. When people reveal their true selves, trust them. I try to remember this often, as it has been beneficial for me.

During the New York Fashion Week, a highly publicized argument between Nicki and Cardi took place at the Harper’s Bazaar Icon party. A while later, Cardi shared the reason behind her confrontation with Nicki.

Cardi mentioned in W magazine’s Art Issue that for some time now, she has been receiving numerous critical remarks from someone. She had a conversation with this person twice, and they reached an agreement. However, the other person continued the attacks.

The genuine source of conflict between them arose when it appeared that Nicki had favorited and subsequently unfavorited a tweet criticizing Cardi’s abilities as a parent, a claim that Nicki has since refuted.

Instead of earning millions from my Bruno Mars tour, I chose to stay with my daughter,” Cardi explained. “I adore my child; I’m an outstanding mom. It’s hard for me to understand why someone without children would criticize that decision. Many people might say the occasion wasn’t suitable for such a comment, but I won’t encounter another artist in a grocery store or on the street.

The strained relationship between Kanye and Taylor Swift dates back to 2009 when the rapper interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards during his performance of “Stronger.” Despite reconciling and developing a friendship in later years, their bond was fractured again following the release of his song “Famous,” which includes a reference to Taylor Swift.

“I don’t know her.”

The ongoing dispute between Mariah and J.Lo dates back over 15 years. It began when Mariah, often referred to as the Queen of Christmas, was queried about various singers in an interview. During this discussion, when asked for her thoughts on Jennifer, she simply stated, “I’m not familiar with her.
